TH350: Do the rear yoke's have fluid in them?
 
Because there's a good size puddle of tranny fluid under my truck, and the rear seal (where the yoke enters the tranny) is perfectly dry, but where the yoke and the driveshaft connect, it's dripping DIRECTLY from there. (and there's a good size FRESH puddle under the truck, and I haven't driven it for 4 days!) All I know, is, the puddle wasn't there when we pulled it up on the ramps (friday) then we got back sunday and there it was...what could it be?

Read this article of mine. It explains it all.

Hmm..wow dude, you hit it DIRECTLY on the head! Damn..more and more crap keeps popping up that I've gotta fix! :mad: Ohh well..guess I gotta do what I gotta do...

If it makes you feel any better, I have done the repair as outlined on Swervin's site. It isn't hard, and the parts are inexpensive.

Yeah, I don't imagine it being a hard thing to do..except that it's the TIME constraint that's not on my side..I'll ask my friend who does tranny's, if he could do it for a song...
